Is it possible to directly connect an iPod to an amplifier without a docking station? Also, can I use the Onkyo TX-8255 for the iPod?
Hi,
Yes it is possible for you to use your Ipod
and connect it to an amplifier. All the amplifier needs
is an audio signal,and it does the rest.
What you should not do however, is
connect your Ipod to a big speaker
directly with out passing through an amplifier.
This is due to the large resistance a big speaker
has compared to, say your ear phones. Your IpodÂ
will not get damaged but neither will you have proper
sound output. Hence the need for an amplifier to drive/handle
big speakers.
So yes, its safe for you to use your Ipod with your amplifier.
Enjoy!!!

Yes, of course. You can connect your iPod to any amplifier as long as it supports 3.5-millimeter jack. Here’s an incomplete breakdown of iPod touch 4th generation. The iPod touch 4th generation is available in capacities 8, 32, and 64 GB measuring around 4.4 x 2.32 x 0.28 inches weighing only 101 grams.
It has Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR and 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi. It has a multitouch 3.5-inch screen at 960 x 640 pixels screen resolution and front and back cameras. The back camera is capable of recording video in 720p at 30 fps and can take still pictures at 960 x 720 pixels resolution. The front camera can take VGA photos and can do video recording at 30 fps.
It supports 3.5-millimeter jack, 30-pin dock connector plus a built-in speaker and microphone. It runs on a non-removable lithium-ion battery with music playback up to 40 hours and video playback up to 7 hours.
